FAQ

  • Who can benefit from going to therapy?
    Anyone—whether in a relationship or on their own—can benefit from therapy. There's a common misconception that therapy is only for people in crisis or that seeking help means you've somehow failed. In reality, therapy is a proactive tool to address challenges in both your personal life and relationships, helping you create a path toward greater joy and fulfillment.
  • What is the process to get started in therapy?
    To get started, please reach out via phone or email to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. During this time, we’ll discuss your therapy goals, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. If you feel I’m a good fit for your therapeutic needs, we’ll schedule your first appointment. I’ll then send you intake paperwork to complete electronically before our session. You’ll also receive a reminder notification via text and email (for telehealth sessions, the reminder will include the Zoom link).
  • Where do I go for my therapy appointments?
    Currently, I offer in-person therapy for couples and individuals at my office in Bloomfield, New Jersey. I also provide virtual therapy for clients across New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Florida. If we’re meeting virtually, you will receive a reminder with your unique Zoom link the day before your appointment.
  • How much does therapy cost?
    My fee for couples therapy is $250 per 80-minute session. Individual therapy is $175 per 50-minute session. If desired, couples may choose a 50-minute format for their sessions. If you're interested in using health insurance to cover the cost of therapy, please see the question below for more details.
  • Can I use my health insurance to pay for therapy?
    I am an out-of-network provider. While I do not bill insurance companies directly, I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. Reimbursement eligibility for couples therapy will be discussed during your first session.
  • What can I expect at the first session?
    The first session will be an initial assessment, where we’ll discuss your individual or relationship history and your goals for therapy. During this session, you (or you and your partner(s)) will also have the opportunity to experience how therapy works, review office policies, and go over privacy and confidentiality.
  • How long does a therapy session take?
    Individual sessions are typically 50 minutes, while couples sessions are generally 80 minutes. Most clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum and maintain consistency. During the first session, we’ll discuss a scheduling plan that works best for you (or you and your partner(s)) and ensures you feel comfortable with the process.
  • How many sessions will I need?
    The length of therapy depends entirely on your goals and what you're hoping to achieve. Some individuals or couples may attend therapy weekly for months or even years, while others may only need a few sessions. That said, couples therapy tends to be shorter-term than individual therapy. Generally, I tell people that three months is the minimum time needed to begin implementing meaningful change.
